Elephas is a mid-sized biotechnology company based in Madison, Wisconsin, operating in the medical and diagnostic laboratory field. It has developed an ex vivo tumor profiling approach that uses live patient biopsy tissue to assess how tumors respond to immunotherapies. By preserving the native tumor microenvironment from a core needle biopsy and addressing tumor heterogeneity, the platform enables real-time characterization of immune activity. The company collaborates with universities and industry partners to advance immunotherapy research. Recent partnerships include a collaboration with the University of Louisville to study the combination of surgical intervention and immunotherapy across colorectal, liver, and pancreatic cancers, and a separate collaboration with Mithrl to explore applying an AI-driven decision engine to accelerate research.
